Chapter 3, The Warthog Jesse, and the Carpenter Zachary
As Rosie continued to stroll through Make Believe Land, she bumped into two identical looking brunette toddlers.
"Hi!" Said Rosie excitedly, as she bumped into these two toddlers.
"Well hello there. I'm Tweedle Phil." Said Tweedle Phil.
"And I'm Tweedle Lil." Said Tweedle Lil.
"What you guys doing?" Rosie asked.
"We're doing the shake dance. Come on, dance with us." Said Tweedle Phil and Tweedle Lil simultaneously.
Rosie grabbed each of their hands, as they shook one another's hands, and danced in a circle, like they were playing Ring Around the Rosie, without the falling down part. They did this for a few more minutes, until they grew tired, and collapsed to the ground.
"That was fun, but I'm starting to grow tired." Said Rosie.
"Well in that case, how about a story." Suggested Tweedle Phil.
"I'd love to hear a story, what do you guys got?" Rosie asked.
"It's one of our favoritests! It's called, The Warthog Jesse, and the Carpenter Zachary, and the story, of the little wormies." Said Tweedle Lil, as Tweedle Phil and Tweedle Lil began their story.
Tweedle Lil and Tweedle Phil POV
Once upon a time, on a night unlike any normen night, the sun was up way past its bedtime, when a warthog named Jesse was walking along, and spotted a slimy mud puddle. Feeling hot, he decided to go in to cool off, when he uncovered a bunch of wormies. At that instant, a carpenter named Zachary walked by, and spotted his good friend, Jesse the warthog, in the mud puddle.
"Good day, good day to you." Said Zack the carpenter.
"Well, good day to you too!" Said Jesse the warthog, as he splashed some mud by accident on to Zack.
"Hey!" Said Zack the carpenter.
"Sorry about that. So, I was about to dine on some wormies, care to join me?" Jesse the warthog asked.
"Eeewww! Wormies, that's gross, pardon me." Said Zack the carpenter.
"Well, the more for me then." Said Jesse the warthog, as he scooped up a bunch of wormies.
"No no no! Don't eat us!" Cried the wormies, as they escaped, running all over the land.
"You can't catch me, I'm no ginger bread man." Said one of the wormies, as they continued to squirm very quickly away, Jesse the warthog chasing after them.
"Well, I can at least try to make your dinner as tasty as I can. We'll liven up those wormies for you Jesse with some salt, pepper and vinegar eh?" Said Zack the carpenter, as he pulled out some salt, pepper, and vinegar from his pockets, and started shaking the contents out of the shakers, getting salt, pepper, and vinegar all over everything.
An abundance of animals came along and lapped up every trace of the salt, pepper and vinegar.
"That's not what you serve with wormies, here, I'll show you what goes good with wormies." Said Jesse the warthog, as he walked into a nearby bakery, and came out, carrying a mud pie.
"Ah, a mud pie, this is just what we need!" Said Jesse the warthog, as he set the mud pie down on a nearby tree stump.
Then, he ran all over the land, till he gathered up every wormie, and placed them down on top of the mud pie.
"You know, now that I take a better look at this, maybe I'll give wormies and mud pies a try." Said Zack the carpenter, as he went in search of a napkin to tuck into his shirt for his dinner, or in this case, his midnight snack.
While Zack was away, Jesse the warthog, used this opportunity, to be a bit sneaky.
"And now my little wormies, if you're ready, we can begin the feed." Said Jesse the warthog with a chuckle.
"Feed!" Cried the wormies in panic.
"Well yes of course, of course! It's time to eat! Eat! Eat!" Said Jesse the warthog, as he scooped up the wormies, and gobbled down every one of them.
By this point, Zack the carpenter had returned to the tree stump, to have his share of mud pie and wormies, when he noticed, only a small sliver of mud pie was left.
"I hope you appreciate how much I've enjoyed your company Zack my friend." Said Jesse the warthog, as he let out a huge belch.
"Why thank you Jesse! However, I can't help but notice, something seems to be missing here." Said Zack the carpenter.
"Whatever do you mean Zack?" Jesse the warthog asked.
"Little wormies, little wormies, where did the little wormies go?" Asked Zack the carpenter.
Jesse just looked at him, licking his lips. It then hit Zack, that the wormies, there were none. And it's all because they'd been eaten, every one.
End of Tweedle Phil and Tweedle Lil POV
Rosie clapped her hands when Tweedle Phil and Tweedle Lil had finished their story.
"That was a beautiful story, thank you! Thank you!" Said Rosie with a smile.
"You're welcome! Now, what shall we tell her next?" Tweetle Lil asked.
"How about the story of Reptar and the giant cockroaches." Suggested Tweedle Phil.
"No, I wanna tell her a story about a bird." Said Tweedle Lil.
"Cochroaches." Argued Tweedle Phil.
"Bird." Argued Tweedle Lil.
"Cockroaches." Argued Tweedle Phil.
"Bird." Argued tweedle Lil.
They continued to argue about what to tell Rosie next, until she got tired of listening to their arguing, so wandered off into Make Believe Land, till she noticed some singing. She stopped to listen to the singing, when she saw a field of dandelions before her.
And this, ends chapter 3. Are the dandelions about to put on a concert for Rosie? We'll find out, in the next chapter, so please, do stay tuned!
